Gov. Scott Walker's wife: "We don't talk about it"

In a brief interview broadcast Thursday, Tonette Walker was asked about talk of her husband possibly running for president.

"Well, I think it's flattering to hear that, that your husband is considered in this small group of people who want to be president someday," the first lady told Milwaukee's WTMJ-TV (Channel 4).

"But, you know, we don't -- I know people don't believe this -- but we don't talk about it. I don't think it's something you do talk about."

The National Journal said this week that Gov. Scott Walker is "poised to be the sleeper Republican presidential candidate of 2016."
